Manchester United have ditched plans to sign Everton right-back Seamus Coleman after developing their interest in PSV Eindhoven’s Colombian international Santiago Arias.

Coleman was the first-choice option of United manager David Moyes but the Toffees, who have already persuaded Leighton Baines to sign a new deal rather follow their former boss to Old Trafford, are willing to play hardball once again.

United have a reported £200million to spend in the summer with Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos topping their shopping list.

Despite the massive amount of cash at his disposal, the rebuilding job facing Moyes is so big he needs to spend every penny wisely.

The Daily Star reports that United scouts have been impressed by the pace and power of 22-year-old Arias, who previously played for Sporting Lisbon, and they could move quickly to sign him for £8m before he stars for his country in the World Cup in Brazil.
